There’s an old saying. “Hope for peace, prepare for war.” There is wisdom in this phrase in most instances, as it discusses prudence and preparing for the worst. I’ve always thought that was a better way to function day in, day out. However, whenever a democrat gets into office, there are those who are suddently not just preparing for war at home, but eager for it. Continue reading Preparing for war? This one is also in two parts… One of the major topics at this week’s Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting was the schematic designs for the new Library. Honestly, they looked EXTREMELY good, and I can’t wait to see this thing built. The price per square foot has even dropped by $4 since initial estimates were made, and is projected to possibly drop another $15! Lower costs are always a good thing! But when Smithville/Chokee Commissioner Dennis Roland – who has long been known as an opponent of this project, since it is not in his district – was told that the project was still projected to cost $4.8 million, he said that he had long held that his “threshold” had been $4 million, and so he was the lone vote against approving the plans. One has to wonder what his “threshold” would be on the new Smithville fire station that was also approved at this meeting, and if he would have voted in favor of it had that project gone above said arbitrary “threshold”. After all, that project is another $750,000+ in an area that is the LEAST populated in the County! |
